KOARs New Music - Val Emmich
Posted February 12, 2007 — in Music News
Val Emmich begged to walk away from his multiple album deal and the begging paid off……….
After two years on Epic Records and nothing to show for his efforts but a re-released version of his debut album Slow Down Kid, New Jerseyan Val Emmich begged successfully for the privilege to walk away from a multiple album deal and returned to the exact place where he started - writing music by himself for himself. The result is Sunlight Searchparty a loose and fearlessly raw album recorded almost entirely live to tape, complete with mistakes, chatter, party noise, and slightly out-of-tune instruments.
Val Emmich will be playing at The Mercury Lounge on Thursday February 22 at 8:30 pm. Contact Ralph Hanan at Pi Artist Management for more information: Ralph@piartistmanagement.com or 908-433-6624. Legal: Rosemary Carroll at Carroll Guido & Groffman.
